Family Beach Day

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Pose

She loves her beach toys and to throw sand she gets angry if you try to take away her toys Finally a relaxing moment for Dad

Taking a walk on the beach together

She does NOT like the water

the shallow water is a little bit better

She doesn't like the waves

Nope not her cup of tea

This is better holding on to Daddy weeeeeeee

Still mad at her parents for putting her in the water

bucket play with Daddy

She decided she was ready to go home Greg was fortunate to have a random day off during the week so we hit the beach for the first time as a family. Ava loved the sand but does NOT like the waves. Our big news this week is that Ava crawled yesterday! Hooray! It was a very strange type of crawl but she did move forward a few feet on her own- we'll take it! I think she just decided to try all her moves she knew how to do to move forward until she found something that worked. She is still rolling around the carpet like a 007 secret agent but she will at least crawl a little bit. She now has three teeth on the top gum and when she smiles she looks like a little shark. She still has a rash on her belly and back. We took her to the doctor and they decided that she is most likely allergic to something in her environment. They gave her Claritin and she is doing much better. She has another appointment tomorrow and next week. Ava is now 9 months old and weighs 19 lbs. How time flys!
